F(EDERA AFRICANA. [Nth XII.] Supposing the prohibition of the Slave Trade universal by federal compacts, as well as by muni uipal,laws, still little or nothing will have been dune for Africa, unless further means ate em ployed. It was shewn at the outset,. that the laws and treaties already made for the Abolition of the Slave Trade have all proved ineffectual, and that even the western coast of the African conti n►ent, north of the Equator, is wasted as deploy- ably as ever by that destructive scourge, though there the abolition is already, in point of la ►v, Universal. , The plain reason is, that though the prohibi tory rule has been prescribed, adequate sanctions, and practical remedies, to enforce its observance, are wanting. The criminal practice to be sup pressed is inveterate, the temptations to it are extremely powerful the offenders are men of the most obdurate •character, and the means of preventing or punishing 'their crimes are singularly weak and doubtful. The last of these obstacles to the effectual deliverance of Africa is by far the greatest ; but is happily, at the same time, that which you have the power to re move. England has done in this respect all that was itt her power, or that was likely to be useful She has annexed to the offence of slave-trading by her snbjects the severest penalties (death except ed) that are known to her municipal code ; and ca pital punishment was only omitted lest false com passion should prevent the prosecution or convic tion of offenders. .The.ships and goods enkaged in the trade are subjected to seizure and confisca tion. The offenders themselves, their employers and accomplices, incur the pains of feloey, which comprise forfeiture of all their personal property, perpetual infamy, and transportation to one of the most distant regions of the globe. To enforce 'these sanctions'she has empowered and command ' ed the Officers of her Navy to seize all the ships and goods of her subjects that may be -employed - in the trade, or fitted out for the purpose; she - has also encouraged them, by large bounties, to perform their duty with vigilance, and has main tained squadrons for this particular services alone, on the African coast. But the efforts . of England love been cruelly frustrated, partly by the supineness, for I will not suppose it to be the ill faith, of other Powers ; soul partly by her want of means to detect offend ers and bring them to justice, since she ceased to be at war. It would be unjust, as well as disre spectful, towards a great and amiable Monarch, to suppose that the conduct of the French Gover nors and Fiscal Officers in Africa bas been con sistent with the instructions or the real intentions of the Sovereign ; but it is notorious that at Se negal and Goree the Slave Trade has been carried on to a great extent, with as much Publicity,' and with almost as much apparent countenance from the public functionaries, as if it had never been renfrunced by the Royal declarations, or prohibit ed by the'laws of France. It has been in vain 'that the French Government, upon the represen tations of England, has publicly discountenanced this abuse, and suspended one tit - the chief Offi cers whose participation in it was proved against him ; for the practice has since been pursued al most as openly as before. The seizure of one of the stare ships even tailed to produce any salu tary effect ; for, tvithin a few weeks after, and up to the date of the latest accounts that can be relied on from that part of the coast, the French Slave Traders were again in great activity there, and carrying on their detestable practices so openly, that the connivance of the local Govern ment was clear heyond dispute. The most pro bible explanation is, that though his Most Chris tian ;Nl:sjesty and his Ministers in Europe me sin cere in their prohibitions and instructions, his-Ma jesty's African servants have not believed then; to so. They presumptuously thought, perhaps, that the Royal commands on this subject were mere temporising for ins, calculated to amuse Great Britain under the embarrassing circum stances of the day ; and that their disobedience would be secretly approved. This error will no doubt be severely corrected and we may then expect that the French flag will no longer openly protect a contraband Slave Trade in the river of Senegal, or in the harbour or road stead of Goree. But when this audacious infrac tion of treaties and laws is put down, little still will have been done for Africa, and little even against the Slave Trade of France ; for the mis creants who may continue to abuse in the same way the flag of that Power, will be perfectly sate on every other part of the African coast, as well as on the high seas, during the whole voyage with their cargoes of misery to the Vest Indie-s, or the American continent. Nothing at least can impair that security, but a rcncontre with a French ship of war, - whose commander may have instructions as peremptory as the Government of Senegal aud Goree, with a better disposition to obey them. In the French islands, if disposed to - go there, they will be sure of a cordial reception. Whether they may enter safely the harbour of St. Pierre, or Basseterre, by broad day light, I will not positively affirm; but they may land their victims by night with such facility on numerous points of those colonies, and with such assurance of general favour and aid, that the risk of seizure could hardly be magnified by the most timid cal culator into a Here per cent. I am supposing, however, that the French traders would choose to take a hazard in Africa an.l on the passage, which, small though it is, they would have no need to encounter—that of exposing themselves to visitation and seizure by French ships of war. To avoid this, they would have only to use the simple expedient of hoisting sonic other national flag, that of Spain, for in a:mice, or of Portugal, or even a .British or Ame rica(' ensign, if they please ; and they might then stately pass within hail of any French frigate they meet with. Iler commander, if his will, like that of the African Governors, stood opposed to his instructions, would have a most undeniable ex cuse for connivance; and if, on the contrary, he were a zealous enemy of the Slave Trade, he would still hardly venture to visit, 'and seize and starry into port, unless by some extraordinary coincidence be should be perfectly sure of the true national character of his prize. And here lies the grand difficulty of all ; for whiclithere is only one effectual remedy. It op - poses the suppression, not only of the French Slave Trade, but that of every other country, the subjects of which may choose to engage in the crime, however sincere and earnest their Govern ment may be in the cause of general reformation. Great Britain herself cannot prevent her own sub jects front committing an offence which her Exe cutive Government, her Legislature, and her peo ple at large hold in a penitent abhorrence ; be cause when pet petrated in a place not within her municipal jurisdiction, and tinder the fraudulent assumption of a foreign character, the rights of other s independent States rr,:st her vindicatory arm. Though the offenders may be met with on the high seas, the common highway of nations, they cannot be safely arrested and brought to justice ; nor can the victims of their crimes be delivered out of their grasp, because the disguise they assume cannot be stripped off, and their true allegiance ascertained, without apparent disre spect to foreign Powers, and danger of invading their rights. The difficulty arises frOm the new and anoma lous nature of the case; new certainly in form, and anomalous in principle, as it has hitherto, I think erroneously, been treated ; for there is no other case, in which either the rights of war or of municipal jurisdiction do not supply an adeqUate remedy, with the single exception of piracy, to ►which a contraband Slave Trade has not yet been held - to amount. Where an offence is eonmiitted ►vithin the territory of any nation, its right to seize and punish the perpetrators, though the subjects of a foreign country, has never -been doubted. A State when at ►war, on the other hand, may receive an injury from neutral subjects ►without the limits of its territorial jurisdiction, as by the obstruction, for instance, of its bellige rent rights at sea ; and in this case 'a remedy is fonnd, by the customary law of nations, in :the ri , ht of visitation and search, and in the confis atihn of property that is proved tobe'bostile, ur the subject of hostile aggression. Again, in the cases of piracy-, the criminals, without respect to their national character, or the flag they assume, ate liable to be seized and brought to justice, whether in war or peace, by the subjects of every 'Power into whose hands they may happen to•fall ; for they are consieered as - hostel humuni generis, or transgress - ors against the common rights Of all mankind. It contraband Slave Trading does not - fall with in this latter definition, it forms, as I have ob served, an anomalous case ; but it seems difficult to find a sonnd distinction in principle - bet►ween this crime and that of the acknowledged. pirate. It has never, I apprehend, been held, that an offence, isa order to constitute piracy, must be committed against the subjects of some civilised Power. If not, how can man-stealing and mur der on the high-seas, or elsewhere within the Ad miralty jurisdiction, be in their nature Jess than piratical, though native's of Africa may be the only victims ? The Slave Trade, which involves these crimes, has besides, now been admitted by the Powers engaged in it to be an offence against the law of nature ; and it seems an undeniable con sequence of this admission, it not an identical proposition, to affirm that the perpetrators of the offence, when warranted by the authority of no civil society to which they belong, are, like pi rates, enemies of the human race. To treat Slave Trading as piracy, however, would, I admit, not be proper, after the counte nance which the practice has long unhappily re ceived front the laws of civilised countries, until Some authoritative declaration of the public law on this subject shall have assigned to the offence its true character, . and , warned the future perpe trators that ►with the guilt of piracy they will in cur_its ordinary punishment. . But &such a warn ing ►were given, there could, I conceive, remain no just objection to thus putting the liberty and the lives of our fellow-creatures under the same marititne protection with their property. • To this point, great and generous Sovereigns, you must 'come,or to'some measure equally strong, if you would effectually change the sad destiny of Africa, and redeem the Christian world front its foulest reproach. I will not affirm, indeed, that theme is no other devisable mode in which the same ends can be possibly attained. You might, without declaring contraband Slave Trade to be piracy, enter into a general Treaty by which all the high contracting parties should mutually en gage to support each other in suppressing the crime, under whatever flag the offenders might at tempt to screen it : and shotals . declare that for this purpose the right ref visitation and search in time of peace should belong to the commissioned ships of every maritime power. But in all new cases, it was ►vise to depart no farther than is `strictly necessary from established institutions and forms ; and by simply declaring the offence to be piracy, this maxim will be happily observed. , No 11.:w tribunals, penal sanctions, or forms of pro ceeding will he wanted : no untried inquisitorial or executive powers will be necessary kir those who will have to seize the offenders, and bring them to public justice.; nor will any collateral provisions be required to regulate the rights of third parties, for piracy is an offence (and, as I ap prehend, the only one) the legal nature and eogi zance. of which, ►with all its incidents, are already well known and established, and that with great uniformity in every civilised state. It is, in fact, the only violation of the Lsws of Nature that is treated and puni-shed as such by every municipal code ; the single penal case in ►which all civil so cieties are auxiliary to each other, and combined ,to vindicate, by their respective tribunals, the com mon safety of mankind. By defining:the Slave Trade as piracy, you will therefore not only avoid much practical innova tion, but greatly simplify your work. The legal appellation alone will, ez vi termini, stand in the place of many complex and delicate provi sions. My practical conclusion then is short and sim ple ; though my arguments have been various and long. Instead of the numerous laws and treaties for the suppression of the Slave Trade, the., inefficacy of which has been unhappily proved, let there be one grand perpet - ual com pact for the deliverance of Mica, by which all civilized nations shall mutually pledge them selves to each other for the suppression of that execrable traffic ; and to this end, let it be de clared that all ships and vessels engaged in it after the mouth of May, 1820, under whatever flag they may sail, with their Co M tnanders, Of ficers, and crews, shall be regarded and treated as pirates. . Thus will Africa be effectually rescued from her miseries, and Europe tram her crimes. Thus may the righteous Governor of the World be pro pitiated, and the bless►ngs of his favouring P►ovi deuce crown the work which your wisdom and maguanimity has raised. LAW INTELLIGENCE. couwr OF CHANCERY, Nor. ,9. OPERA-HOUSE.—WATERS V. TAYLOR. Mr. HART requested that his Lordship would be kind enough to allow this case to stand over for a few days. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—I Mll3t first learn on what grounds this case is to be postponed. Mr. HART said that he was Jolly [it epared to have gone on with the case this' day, but that in consequence of the severe indisposition of his Majesty's Solicitor-General he could not go on with it. The Loan CHANCELLOR.—As this is very plainly a case of necessity, it must of course stand over, for I believe nothing but indilposit ion would have prevented the Solicitor-General froth being here. I shall hear it the first thing again ona future day, TEMPEST V. ORD. Mr. lIART.---My Lord, I have to mode, that your Lordship, before you proceed to the ordi nary business of the day, would be kind enough to allow.a motion in this case to he transferred to your Lordship's paper from that of the Vice- Chancellor. Your Lordship having heard the principal parts of the case, it is proper, as we conceive, that the other parts should be heard be fore your Lordship. The motion we intend to make, is merely relative to what the difference' is between Mowbray and Co. who were formerly bankers on the estate, and who, when they acted, did so from the best of motives. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he wished to know :the nature of the transaction, because it was to him, as it were, a common transaction, quite unknown. He was told, that several hills had been taken up at the instance of Lady Tem pest ; and if this was the Case,•lie could not pos sibly interfere. Mr. HART said, that be could not object to the order, of, his Lordship, prrivided such order was issued Without exception to the claims which might hereafter be made. count Or KING'S BENCH, Nov. 9. WICKS, qui. tam V. GORDON. Mr. CHITTY applied fur a-Rule to spew cause why there should not•be an arrest of judgment, or a nonsuiT; in this case. It was an fiction to re cover 5001. penalty under the Stock Jobbing Act. .The declaration stated, that the parties made an illegal bargain or transfer of stock On the 22d of February, without saying it was settling day. The evidence at the trial .proved that the transfer was on-settling day, and Mr. Chitty contended that the-variance between the count in the decla ration anti the evidence was fatal, and that the action could not be maintained. The COurt held that they could not grant a Rule to arrest judg ment, but they allowed Mr. Chitty to take a Rule to show cause why a non3uit should not be entered.. FROM SATURDAY'S GAZETTE. DIVIDENDS.

On Sunday evening, before the 'setting of the watch, as Mr. Cracow•, ot Charlotte-street, Port land-place, was walking with a lady on the west ern side ot Fitzroy-square, he was surrounded' by a gang of four or five ruffians, who knocked him down, and stole his watch and hat, and the lady's white swans-down tippet, with which they got clear off. A man is in custody on suspicion. Saturday, a boy three years of age, and his sister still younger, were entrusted by their pa rents, persons of great respectability residing in Canonbury-lane, Islington, to the care of a female servant, for the. purpose of giving them an airing in a small hand chaise.
